The Steal: The Attempt to Overturn the 2020 Election and the People Who Stopped It

Product Description 
In The Steal, veteran journalists Mark Bowden and Matthew Teague offer a week-by-week, state-by-state account of the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. 
In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, President Donald Trump and his allies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin— Trump’s supporters claimed widespread voter fraud. 
It was not a well-orchestrated matter. There was no guiding genius pulling the strings in key states for the defeated Donald Trump. In the weeks after the election, in counties and precincts all over the country, many local Republican officials and even Trump’s own campaign workers washed their hands of his increasingly unhinged allegations of fraud. But there was no shortage of people willing to take up the fight. Urged on by Trump and his coterie of advocates, lawyers, and media propagandists, true believers turned on their colleagues, friends, and neighbors— even those in their own party—to accuse them of rigging the election. 
The real story of the insurrection began months before Trump’s mob attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. That riot was the desperate final act, emblematic of the clumsy, failed movement Trump had been building for years. It began in cities and small towns all over America on election day, November 3, 2020. 
Working with a team of researchers and reporters, Bowden and Teague uncover never-before-told accounts from the election officials fighting to do their jobs amid outlandish claims and threats to themselves, their colleagues, and their families. The Steal is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial nine weeks and a portrait of the heroic individuals who did their duty and stood firm against the unprecedented, sustained attack on our election system to ensure that every legal vote was counted and the will of the people prevailed. 
 Review 
Praise for Mark Bowden: 
“With its blistering descriptions of an American special-forces operation gone wrong, Mark Bowden's 1999 nonfiction book Black Hawk Down made for excellent action-movie fare. The story told in his latest work, the deeply unsettling The Last Stone, unfolds more slowly but is no less potent. Bowden displays his tenacity as a reporter in his meticulous documentation of the case.”—Time, on The Last Stone 
“This is a story of extraordinary persistence and the grimmest, least romantic kind of heroism there is, and Bowden tells it with the dexterity of an old pro.”—Wall Street Journal, on The Last Stone 
“A telling a stirring, suspenseful, thoughtful story that, miraculously, neither oversimplifies the details nor gets lost in the thicket of a four-decade case file. This is a cat-and-mouse tale, told beautifully. But like all great true crime, The Last Stone finds its power not by leaning into cliché but by resisting it — pushing for something more realistic, more evocative of a deeper truth.”—The New York Times, on The Last Stone 
“Riveting true crime from the ever-capable author… A keen synthesis of an intricate, decades long investigation, a stomach-churning unsolved crime, and a solid grasp of time, place, and character results in what is sure to be another bestseller for Bowden.”—Kirkus Reviews, on The Last Stone\n“Bowden delivers a narrative nonfiction masterpiece in this account of fiercely dedicated police detectives working to close a cold case. This is an intelligent page-turner likely to appeal even to readers who normally avoid true crime.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) , on The Last Stone 
“Interesting and insightful…The book is well-researched and well-written, and those interested in crime and police interrogation methods will find it most interesting.”—Washington Times, on The Last Stone 
“Bowden returns to the story that catapulted his career with a horrific portrait of a sociopath and honors the dedicated officers who were dete

Baba's Bites

Baba's Bites is a passion project by siblings Matthew and Rebecca Teague. Born in Cardiff, Wales and having spent a lifetime immersed in the world-city of Hong Kong, they have both been heavily influenced by global culture and cuisine, taking particular interest in the food and wisdom of India. With backgrounds in therapy, energetics and food, Matthew and Rebecca are Ayurvedic and Yoga Lifestyle Consultants, but moreover enthusiasts for life and creatives at heart. Their vision is to create a cookbook that fuses the ancient Indian healing wisdom of Ayurveda with a modern approach to plant-based eating. This is a crossover they feel can work wonders as an aid for people on their journeys to lessening their environmental footprint, reducing their toxic burdens, and facilitating the healing of the all-too-common gut-related illnesses that take root in imbalanced diet and lifestyle. The recipes in themselves contain only natural ingredients and are fully free of preservatives, additives and other nasties. Hand-made and designed as a sketchbook, the book's beautifully drawn illustrations are works of art in themselves. The book includes an accessible yet informative introduction to Ayurveda, designed as an entry for those just venturing out into the subject. Otherwise, the book in itself is a wonderful little addition to any kitchen, with its unique and easy-to-follow recipes. Baba's Bites is packed full of useful 'bite-sized' guidance on how to create and maintain a healthy being, with the well-being of our planet in mind.
